I am concerned about shipping fever or Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex.
CONDITIONS:
Ten hour trip. Five month old steer. Not weaned. Taking directly off of cow. Has been broke to creep feed. Has had two rounds of Covexin 8. So good there. Has had one vaccination of Bovi-Shield Gold FP5L5. That covers some of the virals that cause Bovine Respiratory Virus Complex such as BVD, PI3, IBR and BRSV. But not all of the Bovine Respiratory Viruses. I have never had respiratory problems on the farm. But I have never exposed a calf to this level of stress.
Does someone have advice on the risks of this trip on this steer?
